And I have a farmers tan if I were to use a tanning bed would it even out the tan?

Sure, but you’d have to put sunscreen on the part of your arms that’s already dark, or it’ll still look slightly uneven for the first couple of sessions.

You buy blocks of minutes (like $30 for 200 minutes or something along those lines), and use them in increments of 10 or 15 minutes each — depending on how well or quickly you tan, you might want choose the shorter session. Spread your sessions out over a long period — don’t go every single day or you’ll come out looking ridiculous. Go once every three or four days. Also, ASK before you even get assigned a bed if the bulbs are new or not. NEW bulbs will burn you faster than bulbs that have been in use for a while.

You’ll need to purchase goggles to protect your eyes — they’ll sell them at the Tanning salon. DO NOT ATTEMPT to get away with going under those lights WITHOUT eye protection. I’ve got the type of goggles that are actually just two little "cups" that you set over your eyes once you lay down.

I have very fair skin and I only take two or three 10-minute sessions, spread out over a week, to put enough color onto my bod to not look like a zombie.

I live in Hawaii and i love being tan, and i haven’t had time to tan! so my tans starting to fad i recently use Maui Babe Browning Lotion, it works pretty good but im looking for something that will help me brown up faster. So do you know any Tanning lotions that work fast and make you really really dark, my skin can turn really really brown! and no self tanners please. i like a natural tan!

You may be quite enthusiastic to get a complete homogeneous tan all over the body. What about tanning naked? Sounds easy…but, wait…Is it that much desired? Is it safe for you?

Well, tanning has become a fashion statement for all, but the main purpose of it is something different. Tanning is done to increase the melanin content on your skin so that it can prevent and protect your body from harmful penetration. And there are limitations to which you can tan. Naked tanning is thus worse in its kind, please beware of it. Here is the list of harmful effects of naked tanning. Know them clearly before you make your mind to lie naked under the sun or artificial tanner.

The sensitive body parts including breasts, genital organs and underarms are more prone to harmful effects of UV rays. You may develop symptoms such as severe rashes and skin penetration while lying naked for hours under the sun or Tanning lamp.

The ultraviolet radiations penetrate these areas faster and may cause Acne or sunburns. The scrotum and the lips of the vagina are extra sensitive to high temperature and UV radiations.

The breast skin of a woman is very tender, thin and delicate. Naked tanning on and often make them rugged and the age spots grow quick on the breast skins.

Sunscreen lotions definitely prevent the intensity of penetration through the skin but harmful UVB rays can still penetrate through the mammary glands and become the reason for breast cancer.

The possibility of having skin cancer rises with the naked tanning. The sun radiations having harmful ultraviolet rays penetrate through the epidermis of your skin and thus manipulate the immune system.

So from now onwards, if you go for tanning don’t perform it naked. Wear tanning bikinis or put on some cloths to cover the sensitive areas. Don’t tan for more than 10 minutes since melanin generation from the Melanocytes require moderate instigation by the UV rays. Perform the tanning at relative intervals so that you get a tanned skin as well as safe body, free from any problems. And don’t forget to use the lotions or moisturizers, they are protective shield for your body while tanning.

The efficacy of an indoor tanning session depends a lot on the tanning lamps used. The lamps are the main source of tanning in the Tanning beds that provide the accurate amount of UV rays. The UV rays stimulate the melanin cells for the production of melanin.

The amplitude of UV rays by the lamps help in the quality tan. The lamps are the most important equipment in a tanning booth. That’s why its essential to know for sure certain facts about the lamps. There are numerous kinds of tanning bulbs but the features make them extraordinary. Do you know how these bulbs produce the ultraviolet radiations?

The lamps emit UV rays due to the collision of the electrons from the electrode and the electrons from the mercury atom. The settling of the mercury electrons from excited state to normal state produces the radiations. The UV radiations then pass the phosphorus coated glass and give out the accurate level needed for the tanning.

So before buying a tanning bed or a facial tanner, consider following facts about the lamps:

1.Prefer those bulbs with lower UVB outlet, because they will create a darker tan that will last long. A higher UVB bulb though tans faster but the tan is not so darker.

2.See that the beds are equipped with bronzing bulbs having a lower level of UVB. Bronzing bulbs are different from the ‘hot’ bulbs in the sense that the ‘hot’ tanning bulbs have a higher level of UVB and less UVA.

3.Generally the tanning bed bulbs are approved for 1000 hours for use, but it will be better if you change them after 600-800 hours of use for good results.

For maximizing the life of your tanning bulbs make sure the beds are getting appropriate amount of voltage. Check the efficiency of cooling system fans because too much of heat reduces the quality of the lamp.

I got a coupon for 1 free level one tan at a tanning salon near my house and I am planning on using it Tuesday because I am leaving for Mexico on Wednesday. I’ve never been in a tanning bed before, and I am not planning on buying a Tanning package after I use the coupon. Am i even going to see any results? How much color am I going to get after I tan one time?

Honestly, i only buy packages because one tan never does anyhting to me. I have VERY pale skin so if ur a little darker perhaps it would help a little. Theres not use in not trying but try not to be dissapointed and dont expect to look very dark, it usually takes at least 3 or 4 times.

I already have a base tan from tanning indoors but I spend a lot of time outdoors during summer and want to get even darker. Which tanning lotion would be best for this?

I use Hawaiian Tropic Dark Tanning Oil and it gets me super dark.. I never burn using it and it smells great Banana boat also makes a dark tanning lotion that works wonders too. If you want it to be lotion Hawaiian Tropic makes the Dark tanning Lotion with spf4 that also works great. Always remember to drink lots of water and to always put lotion on after showering to preserve your tan! Happy Tanning

The sales guy or the advertisement promoting the tanning pills will make you spell bound telling the benefits of “Tanning Pills”. The craze for a tanned skin is an opportunity for the manufacturers to earn millions by making fools all around. Never try tanning pills blindly! You may lose your eye sight and turn like a turtle in color.

Tanning pills have caught the attention with the propaganda that sun tanning is harmful and tanning inside the tanners too cause Skin Cancer. If sun would have been so harmful, why do people like farmers or others don’t suffer from cancer working day long in under the sun? There are several side effects of the tanning pills, otherwise why FDA have not approved it. Tanning pills contain such elements that can harm you to that extent that you can not dream of.

Tanning pills come in three forms: some contain caretenoid pigments, some may contain tyrosine and the others contain nothing. The fact is that melanin does not get generated by any of these organic compounds. Melanin is only developed either by genes or by the UV rays of the sun. If you have tried taking these pills, I urge you to stop them. They have adverse side effects and you will have faced troubles later on.

A. Side effects of tanning pills containing caretenoid: Caretenoid is an orange pigment which plays no role in melanin formation. Instead they provide a pale, yellowish irregular color to your skin and you look so awkward. This happens due to the deposition of the caretenoid molecules on the fat layer under your skin. Sometimes it may be orange too. So you will get an unique orange tan! The accumulation of the pigments in the retina harm your eyes and excessive deposition will lead to blindness. Mostly the pills contain canthaxanthin or lycopene as caretenoid color pigments and these are not friendly to your body.

B. Side effects of tanning pills containing tyrosine: Tyrosine is an amino acid and the tanning pills claim that they help in melanin production. This is a rubbish assertion. Excessive tyrosine may be toxic to the central nervous system and may damage the brain too.

C. Side effects of tanning pills containing neither of the above mentioned chemicals: These pills mostly cause allergic side effects. Your skin may develop unwanted acne and may be quite embarrassing.

Tanning pills are the worst sunless tanning products. The pills act like slow poison that harms you in manner you cannot track and suddenly the symptoms arise and it becomes very cumbersome to treat it at all. Avoid using tanning pills before its too late.
